Application of Relation between Ability to Study Concepts and Problem-Solving Kinematics with Student Achievement in Physics Learning at Public Junior High Schools in Pidie Regency: Penerapan Hubungan Kemampuan Menelaah Konsep dan Pemecahan Masalah Kinematika dengan Prestasi Belajar Siswa dalam Pembelajaran Fisika pada SMP Negeri di Kabupaten Pidie

Abstract

This study aims to improve the application of the relation between the ability to examine concepts and problem solving that can shape students to be more skilled in the learning process to improve student achievement. This study examines the relation between the ability to study concepts and problem solving physics to improve student achievement, so this study used a quantitative approach, correlation technique. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that there is an increase in physics learning outcomes in kinematics material with a problem solving. Suggestions that can be given by teachers of physics subjects as an alternative learning method that is able to solve problems in physics learning which tend to always be associated with formulas, because it is proven to be able to produce better learning outcomes so that learning with problem solving can be applied in physics learning to improve teaching and learning process to be more effective.
